Coniferophyta- Chamaecyparis lawsonian
The organisms in Phylum Coniferophyta are mostly evergreens. The plants produce naked seeds in cones, produce soft wood, and have needle-like leaves. Their seeds are borne on the surface of woody scales and the overlapping scales forming a cone. The heterosporous seed plants have non-motile sperm, which is conducted to an egg by a pollen tube.
Phylum Coniferophyta plants are most common in temperate, alpine, and sub-arctic environments.
Examples of organisms found in the Phylum Coniferophyta include: redwoods, pines (Pinus), cypress (Cupressus), fir (Abies), spruce (Picea), hemlock (Tsuga), and junipers (Juniperus).
